seat FIAT TALENTO 2017 Owner handbook (in English)

USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be intended as
regarding an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule will be specified as appropriate in the text.
The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do
not correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Handbook has been conceived considering vehicles
with steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on vehicles with steering wheel on the right side, the position or
construction of some controls is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure.
To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook.
Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is a key
for getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a textual indication of the
current chapter at the side of each even page.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE
In-depth knowledge of your new vehicle
starts here.
The handbook that you are reading
simply and directly explains how it is
made and how it works.
That’s why we advise you to read it
seated comfortably on board, so that
you can see what is described here for
yourself.THE KEYS.................14

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

5)For safety reasons, always open/close
doors when the vehicle is stopped.
6)NEVER leave children unattended inside
the vehicle, let alone leave it with the doors
unlocked in a place that children can
access easily. Children may seriously, or
even fatally, injure themselves. Also ensure
that children do not inadvertently operate
the parking brake or the brake pedal.
7)Opening or closing the door, as for all
opening parts of the vehicle, must be done
keeping in mind the precautions for use
concerning this operation: check that there
is no one, no part of a body, an animal or
object that could come into contact during
this manoeuvre. Only use the inside and
outside handles to manoeuvre the door.
Use caution in both opening and closing
the doors. Caution: when the vehicle is
parked on an incline, open or close the
door carefully until it locks in place. Always
make sure the sliding door is completely
closed before the vehicle starts moving.
8)Before opening a door, ensure that you
can do it in conditions of safety.
9)You must not open the left-hand sliding
side door with the fuel flap open while
refuelling. Check that the fuel flap is closed
while opening/closing the sliding side door
to avoid damage.
10)Do not leave the sliding side door open
when the vehicle is parked on a gradient. A
knock could release the latch leaving the
door free to move forward.
11)Before leaving the vehicle parked with
sliding doors open, always check that the
latch is engaged.
12)Always use this device when carrying
children.13)The spring-loaded system is designed
for optimum usage. Accidental knocks or a
strong gust of wind may release the
springs, forcing the doors to close.
14)When closing, shut the right hand
swing door fully before you close the left
hand swing door. Never shut the two doors
at the same time.
15)In case of wind, do not leave the rear
swing doors open. Risk of injury.
16)When you stop by the side of the road,
if the tailgate is completely open, the rear
lights might not be visible. Warn other road
users that your vehicle is there by placing
the pre-signal triangle or other device
allowed by law in the country you are
driving in.HEADRESTS

down, the front passenger airbag must be
deactivated (refer to the “Passenger side
airbag and child restraint systems – how to
deactivate the airbags” paragraph in the
“Safety” chapter). Risk of serious injury in
case the air bag opens up because of
objects placed on the folded backrest
flying around. The label (on the dashboard)
and the silkscreen and printed markings
(on the windscreen) remind you of these
instructions.

on the driver's side floorboard: in case of
sharp braking, they could slide under the
pedals, hampering their use.

Air temperature adjustment
Use control 5 fig. 91 depending on the
desired temperature. The farther the
indicator is in the red zone, the higher
the temperature.
Ventilation speed adjustment
Use control 3 fig. 91 from 0 to 4 fig. 91.
The farther to the right you turn it, the
more air is diffused. If you want to stop
air entry, place control 3 fig. 91 at 0.
The system is deactivated: ventilation
speed in the passenger compartment is
nil (vehicle stopped), you can still notice
a slight air flow when the vehicle is
moving.
NOTE Prolonged use of this control in
position 0 can make the side windows
and windscreen mist up even though
the air inside the passenger
compartment is not stuffy.
Quick de-misting: Passenger
compartment isolation/air recycling
deactivated (warning light on button 4
fig. 91 is off), turn controls 1 fig. 91 and
3 fig. 91 to the positions

up de-misting.
Activating the passenger
compartment isolation/air
recycling.
Press button 4 fig. 91 (the warning light
will go on).
In this position, the air in the passenger
compartment is recycled without
introducing outside air.Air recirculation allows you:
to isolate the outside environment
(when driving in polluted areas, etc.);
to get the desired internal passenger
compartment temperature more
quickly.
IMPORTANT Prolonged use of air
recycling can make the side windows
and windscreen mist up even though
the air inside the passenger
compartment is not stuffy. We advise
you to return to normal function
(outside air) by pressing button 4
fig. 91 again as soon as air recycling is
no longer needed.
Passenger compartment air
distribution
Turn the knob 1 fig. 91 to select the
distribution type.
The airflow is directed to the
dashboard vents.
The airflow is directed to the
dashboard vents and to the rear seat
lower vents.
The airflow is mainly directed
towards the front seat lower vents and
the dashboard vents. To direct the air
downwards only, close the dashboard
vents.
The airflow is distributed among all
the vents, the front side window vents,
the windscreen demisting vents and the
lower vents.
. The airflow is directed towards the
windscreen demisting vents and the
front side window demisting vents.
Turning the climate control system
on/off
The button 2 fig. 91 lets you turn on
(indicator light on) or off (indicator light

It cannot be turned on if control 3
fig. 91 is set at 0.
Using air conditioning lets you:
lower the interior car temperature;
de-mist the windows more quickly.
Air conditioning does not work when
the outside temperature is low.
IMPORTANT For vehicles equipped
with ECO mode (button 7 fig. 92 ):
when activated, ECO mode can reduce
the heating and/or climate control
performance.
